This study examines the impact of health insurance and social safety net programmes on maternal health service utilisation (MHSU) in Pakistan. It recommends that expanding access to health insurance can provide comprehensive coverage for maternal healthcare services. Social safety net programmes can be made conditional, subject to regular health checkups for mothers and children to improve maternal and child health outcomes.
